'You Can't Pour from an Empty Cup

My true passion has always been abstract art but at the beginning of the covid pandemic I started painting still life’s. Turning to my immediate environment for inspiration and finding beauty in the most ordinary of objects. Cereal bowls and detergent bottles the accumulated detritus of family lockdown life. This series of work has evolved over recent years alongside my abstract art practice.

Painting these still life’s uses a different part of my brain and like any muscle it’s good to exercise it. It also feels quite meditative, I use smaller brushes a slower technique and it’s such a soothing calm experience. 

‘YOU CAN’T POUR FROM AN EMPTY CUP’ is a reminder that to take care of others we first need to take care of ourselves and is the title piece in this latest body of work. This collection includes 6x  paintings on board with gorgeous natural oak frames and in my signature colour palette.
